Liquidity And Impairment Assessment NOTE 2 – LIQUIDITY AND IMPAIRMENT ASSESSMENT

Going Concern

We continue to evaluate the going concern assertion required by ASC 205-40 Going Concern as it relates to our Company. The evaluation of the going concern assertion involves considering whether it is probable that our Company has sufficient resources, as at the issue date of the financial statements, to meet its obligations as they fall due for twelve months following the issue date. Should it be probable that there are not sufficient resources, we must determine whether it is probable that our plans will be effectively implemented and will mitigate the consequential going concern substantial doubt. Our evaluation is informed by current liquidity positions, debt obligations, our beliefs about the marketability of certain real estate properties, our beliefs about the recovery of the global cinema industry, cash flow estimates, known capital and other expenditure requirements and commitments and our current business plan and strategies. Our Company’s business plan - two businesses (real estate and cinema) in three countries (Australia, New Zealand and the U.S.) - has served us well historically and is key to management’s overall evaluation of ASC 205-40 Going Concern.

We have $53.7 million of debt due in twelve months, cash of $8.3 million and negative working capital of $108.7 million. This net negative working capital position includes land and property held for sale of $18.0 million (based on book value, as opposed to fair market value). Management has concluded that going concern uncertainty exists.

As a result, we have developed a plan to address and overcome the going concern uncertainty. Our plan is informed by current liquidity positions, debt obligations, our beliefs about the marketability of certain real estate properties, our beliefs about the recovery of the global cinema industry, cash flow estimates, known capital and other expenditure requirements and commitments and our current business plan and strategies.

While we believe that, with an increase in the quantity and quality of films being released to cinemas compared to pre-pandemic levels, patronage and operating revenue levels will improve, we have no control over attendance levels and no assurances can be given as to the nature of the reception of future movies by the movie-going public.

We have begun the process of refinancing and/or extending certain loans. On January 31, 2025, we repaid our $10.5 million Westpac loan. On February 5, 2025, we repaid $6.1 million of our Bank of America facility, taking the balance to $8.7 million. This loan is due on August 18, 2025. On February 26, 2025, we exercised our option to extend our Valley National debt to October 1, 2025. Our $12.5 million NAB bridging facility matures on May 23, 2025, which we expect to repay upon the anticipated sale of our Cannon Park property, currently scheduled to close on May 21, 2025. We are currently under an unconditional contract to sell our Cannon Park property for AU$32.0 million. On May 2, 2025, we extended our Emerald Creek Capital loan to November 6, 2026, as further discussed in Note 13 - Borrowings.

Moreover, we intend to raise the liquidity necessary for the next twelve months from real estate asset monetization. We believe we have more than sufficient marketable real estate assets that can be monetized on a timely basis and at the values required to meet our funding needs over the next twelve months. After having sold eight separate property assets since 2021, we have demonstrated our ability to complete real estate asset monetizations.

In conclusion, as of the date of issuance of these financial statements, based on our evaluation of ASC 205-40 Going Concern and the current conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, and our various plans for enhancing liquidity and the extent to which those plans are progressing, we conclude that our plan to raise sufficient liquidity primarily through certain real estate asset monetizations to the extent needed is probable of being implemented to the extent required such that this alleviates the substantial doubt about our Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Impairment Considerations

Our Company considers that the events and factors described above constitute impairment indicators under ASC 360 Property, Plant and Equipment. At December 31, 2024, our Company performed a quantitative recoverability test of the carrying values of all its asset groups. Our Company estimated the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of these asset groups and found that no impairment charge was necessary. While our first three months of 2025 produced lower revenues and operating income compared to the same period in 2024, we believe our improved performance at an asset group level will resume in the remainder of 2025. As a result, we recorded no impairment charges for the first three months of 2025. Actual performance against our forecasts is dependent on several variables and conditions, many of which are subject to the uncertainties associated with among other things, the factors presented above, and as a result, actual results may materially differ from management’s estimates.

Our Company also considers that the events and factors described above continue to constitute impairment indicators under ASC 350 Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. Our Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test and determined that our goodwill was not impaired as of December 31, 2024. The test was performed at a reporting unit level by comparing each reporting unit’s carrying value, including goodwill, to its fair value. The fair value of each reporting unit was assessed using a discounted cash flow model based on the budgetary revisions performed by management in response to COVID-19 and the developing market conditions. No impairment charges were recorded in the first three months of 2025. Actual performance against our forecasts is dependent on several variables and conditions, including among other things, the factors presented above, and as a result, actual results may materially differ from management’s estimates.
